We got 8 years of Bush if you didn’t notice. Dubya said he would “restore honor and dignity to the White House”. Gore had nothing to do with Clinton’s affair and successful impeachment and get was tied to that whole event. Ignore it, but history says your wrong.

I hope seeing Warren and others jump in Changes Pelosi’s mind.  

Impeachment has always worked out to be a net gain for the attacking party.  Change my mind.

Pelosi shutting down the case for impeachment before the report release is what I have a problem with. It matters because she’s the Speaker with A LOT of power in the House. Your argument is a strawman as I am not arguing against minds changing at a future date. My argument (which is backed by her own words) is…

An aside, if you really want to know what Elizabeth Warren is all about, what her appearances on old episodes of PBS’ Frontline.  She was a go-to for their discussions on the economy.  

I really think it’s between her and Bernie.  If they pick each other to be a running mate should one of them win, I would be on cloud 9.

I can’t help you with your issues with reading comprehension.  

Just sent her money because of this.  I will never understand the fear in Congress Dems to do their duty.  

You answered your own question. It matters because she wanted to discourage her teammates from aggressively pursuing impeachment. Did you see that Pelosi not only refused to comment on impeachment possibilities today, but said that she didn’t want to insult the president while she was abroad?

It absolutely matters that she shut down impeachment discussions before the report coming out.  She knew it would be hard to deny it after the report was released, redacted or not.  She’s making bad decisions.

It was pretty obvious that a lot of bad stuff was going to come out of the Mueller report.  Pelosi didn’t have to preemptively shut down the impeachment discussions.

Gore was shredded for the failed impeachment and the tie to Clinton being his VP despite being part of a very successful administration. Dubya ran part of his platform on “restoring honor and dignity to the White House”.  We got 8 years of Dubya for it.

I guess we’ll agree to disagree.  The current republican strategy advocates brute force attacking dem weak points and they have been doing it for years.

I’m advocating walking (impeachment) and chewing gum (responsible governing).  They don’t have to be separate courses of action.  Maybe since a glass of water can win Pelosi’s district, she could lead the charge.

I have evidence that proves your talking point wrong. Impeachment is great for the attacker and bad for the defender.  

They can believe that if they are Russians.  Being the target of an impeachment hurts.

I don’t know how you can say that the Clinton impeachment backfired when Gore lost. Dubya successfully tied Gore to Clinton’s affair and impeachment by saying that he would “restore honor and dignity to the White House”.

You’re ignoring actual American impeachment history. The target of an impeachment or their party have been hurt in the past while the pursuing party gained from the act.

I don’t see McConnell saying that a glass of water could win in Lankford’s district.

Yes, and there is history to show that impeachment hurts the target (Johnson) or the party (Nixon resigning/Ford losing to Carter, Gore somehow being tied to Clinton’s impeachment and losing to Dubya).
